'LOOKING FOR NX14771' a story of War, Heroism & Closure

'....in the little boy’s heart, happy as he was, there remained a vague ache. How can you miss something, someone, you never knew? But he had the dog-tag. That would do. That brought him close. He took to wearing it in early teens—and tried to engrave his own name on its reverse side using the sharp point of a drawing compass, perhaps somehow to join himself with the missing owner. I can see those marks as I hold it in my hand today.'

An excerpt from Ian's new book 'LOOKING FOR NX14771'; a remarkable and serendipitous story about 'finding' the father never known: a father who died in World War II having been decorated for bravery.
